    Went here for a romantic evening dinner after a full day of exploring and hiking around Portland. Kind, attentive staff, outstanding views, well curated menu and wine selection. I do wish the portions were slightly larger, especially the dessert. We ordered one to share, and it was quite small; we could have eaten it in one bite. However, the city view is undoubtedly one of the highlights, it completely transports you into a far more intimate city and makes you forget about the bustling around you. Our server Amanda was amazing! She made sure we were well educated on our entree selections, and I have to commend how careful they were about my tree nut allergy, that kind of attention to detail is a rare occurrence. Overall, it was a beautiful evening and I will definitely be returning next time I’m in Portland.
